LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE VILLA WOLF IN GUBIN TA...

Villa Wolf in Guben (now Gubin)  built between 1925 and 1927  was Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's
first decidedly modern building. The residential building was destroyed at the end of the
Second World War and in the immediate post-war period. The building practice of Mies van der
Rohe - who is internationally known for his visionary glass skyscrapers and concrete buildings
- remained conventional for a long time. With Villa Wolf  he presented a radical
reinterpretation of the upper-class residential building: an open  diagonal sequence of rooms
on the garden side  with the cubically-towered areas of the utility rooms and bedrooms next to
it. The reception of the building was overshadowed by the great success of Mies van der Rohe's
successor buildings  such as the German Pavilion in Barcelona (1928-1929) and Villa Tugendhat
in Brno (1929-1930). This volume presents the history of Villa Wolf in Gubin and documents the
recent excavation of the basement as well as the graphic reconstruction as a prerequisite for
the building's reconstruction.
